It’s no secret that Tampa Bay has transformed into a craft beer haven. Tampa and our neighbors in St. Pete are both brimming with craft beer inspiration. A new business looks to connect residents on both sides of the Howard Frankland to the best craft beer spots in the area.
PubPass stared in Minneapolis in 2014 and expanded Denver and Milwaukee shortly thereafter. The Tampa Bay area is the latest market to join the brew movement. The small booklet, similar to a passport, gets you one free craft beer at 25 local pubs for a one-time payment of $25. The pass is good for one year so you have a bit of time to sample each spot.
The best part about PubPass sales? $1 from every booklet sold will be donated to Feeding Tampa Bay. Participating spots include:
